2009-08-24 back to work
by Vasil KolevThe first working day was an average crap.
I found everything somewhat at the same state that I’ve left (I have no idea why did I expect that anything from the stuff I left would be started :) ), managed to make a plan and even managed to finish the first part of the changing of the office ISP some hours ago. The situation doesn’t look so bad, although some of my deadlines are around Friday …
I had to change desks as the old one in my absence got covered/surrounded with all kinds of leftovers from the old office, I’m thinking about cleaning up a bit around it tomorrow, as it’s the quietest place in the office. I had moved one whiteboard at the new place, I’ll see if I’ll find space for it at the old one, as I had to make a schema of the network to visualise the migrations needed.
From the good news today – Dust of Dreams by Erikson had arrived (the ninth of the “Malazan book of the fallen”), ~900 pages of wonderful readin (I started a bit a go, but had to pause for some routing changes and then some bass-guitar-noise-making). In Holland I managed to catch up on some reading (“Anatomy of the transition”, “Report from Iron Mountain”, something about the People’s court, “Cantata for Leibovitz” and almost everything left from marshal Keitel’s memoirs), let’s see what’s next.
There’s been a lot on the topic that there will be surveillance cameras in the Sofia University. This seems like another reason for me not wanting to have anything to do whit this university. It’s pretty much obvious that this is mostly stealing money from the university and the cameras will be used at most to create problems for people, not with some real goal (although any such goal’s usability will be questionable).
